SONGS OF THE SOUL
IN ME
Hello, Yonder Tree!
Thou dost breathe in me, in me;
O Fast-footed River!
Thy shining meandering quiver
Declares itself
Through myself;
Thou dost shine through me, in me.
O Huge Himalaya
With snowy sovereign white regalia!
In my mind doth rest thy throne—
Thy home
In me, in me.
O Ocean! endless to the eye
In boundless stretches thou dost lie;
But to me thou art small:
A tiny drop upon a ball,—
Thou art in me, in me.
O Endless Sky!
So vast to eye,—
In some brighter age or day
When I’ll cast my cares away
Thou dost breathe in me, in me;
O Fast-footed River!
Thy shining meandering quiver
Declares itself
Through myself;
Thou dost shine through me, in me.
O Huge Himalaya
With snowy sovereign white regalia!
In my mind doth rest thy throne—
Thy home
In me, in me.
O Ocean! endless to the eye
In boundless stretches thou dost lie;
But to me thou art small:
A tiny drop upon a ball,—
Thou art in me, in me.
O Endless Sky!
So vast to eye,—
In some brighter age or day
When I’ll cast my cares away
[ 16 ]
